March 13, 2026

CREDA is partnering with RCLCO to conduct the 2026 Commercial Real Estate Compensation and Benefits Survey. A nationally known real estate advisor, RCLCO Compensation Advisors, has conducted this survey — the largest in the industry — for 37 consecutive years.

Complete the survey by June 5. Go to the survey.

Please note: If your company participated in a recent previous survey, the prior participant contacts will be sent an email directly from Andrea Schell at RCLCO with a unique link for your company to complete the current survey. No need to sign up to participate again.

This valuable survey is the industry standard allowing firms to stay current on salaries, bonuses and benefits for CRE professionals from entry-level positions to executives. Each company that participates in the survey will receive a complimentary electronic copy of the full comprehensive survey report – a $3,750 value!

This company-level survey should be completed by your company’s Human Resources or Finance/Accounting Executive. If needed, please forward this link to the appropriate person/department in your firm for overall company level participation. (Individual participants are not eligible.)

All responses are strictly confidential.

The 2025 survey includes:

  • Submissions from more than 400 companies
  • Salary and bonus data for up to 160 positions across all major corporate and real estate functions
  • Incentive structure and benefits information

You will have access to data you can sort by:

  • Company size (based on number of employees)
  • Company type (public or private)
  • Real estate specializations (office, industrial, retail, or residential)
  • Region and metro area

The 2026 survey includes:

  • Updated and expanded questions to reflect industry trends
